Published on 08/26/2026 at 11:47 | Editorial responsibility: Rafael Müller, Editor-in-Chief AD HOC NEWS
Expedia Group (US30212P3038) stock traded at $337.97 after the latest session, leaving the shares within the $185.34 to $342.39 52-week range and close to the high. The company also set an August 27, 2026 ex-dividend date for a $0.48 quarterly payout.
Second-quarter numbers stay strong
The latest reported quarter was Q2 2026, and it came with $5.76 in adjusted EPS, which beat estimates by $0.54, on $4.32 billion in revenue. Revenue rose 14.0% year over year, and adjusted EBITDA reached $1.1 billion with a 25.9% margin in the quarter.
That mix matters because Expedia is already carrying both operating momentum and a large dividend reset into the late-August tape. The current consensus view cited in recent market data is Hold, with an average price target of $317.45, below the latest quoted share level.
Insider sale and valuation
Recent filing coverage showed Chief Legal Officer Robert Dzielak sold 1,004 shares at $335.00 apiece for $336,340, trimming his stake by 0.95% while still holding 104,331 shares. The same coverage put the company's market capitalization at $40.56 billion and its price-to-earnings ratio at 21.07.
